When Will They Shoot? Lyrics - The Predator - Ice Cube

"Stalkin. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J] 

[repeat 2X] 

[Ice Cube] 

God damn, another fuckin payback with a twist 

Them motherfuckers shot but the punks missed 

Ice Cube is out-gunned, what is the outcome? 

Will they do me like Malcolm? 

Cause I bust styles, new styles, standin - strong! 

While, others +Run+ a +Hundred Miles+ 

But I never run, never will 

Deal with the devil with my motherfuckin steel - BOOM! 

Media try to do me 

But I was a Boy-N-the-Hood before the movie, yeah 

Call me nigga, bigger than a spook 

But you the one that voted for Duke, motherfucker 

White man, is somethin I tried to study 

But I got my hands bloody, yeah 

They said I could sing like a Jaybird 

But nigga, don't say the J-word 

I thought they was buggin 

cause to us Uncle Sam, is Hitler without an oven 

Burnin our black skin 

Buy my neighborhood - then push the crack in 

Doin us wrong from the first day 

And don't understand why a nigga got an AK 

Callin me an African-American 

like everything is fair again, shit 

Devil, you got to get the shit right I'm black 

Blacker than a trillion midnights 

+Don't Believe the Hype+ was said in '88 

by the great Chuck D, now they're tryin to fuck me 

". with +No Vaseline+ 

Just a match and a little bit of gasoline." - HUH! 

It's a great day for genocide (What's that?) 

That's the day all the niggaz died 

They killed JFK in '63 

So what the fuck you think they'll do to me? 

But I'm the O.G. and I bust back (boom boom) 

Bust back (Boom boom!) peel a cap (BOOM BOOM!) 

Gimme room in the fire of the sun 

Here the mack come, here the black come, watch Jack run! 

Motherfuckers can't gank me 

Fuck a devil, fuck a rebel, and a yankee 

Overrun and put the Presidency 

After needin that, I'm down wit O.P.P., yeah 

I met Farrakhan and had dinner 

And you ask if I'm a five-percenter, well... 

No, but I go where the brothers go 

Down with Compton Mosque, Number 54 

Made a little dough, still got a sister on my elbow 

Did Ice Cube sell out? You say, "Hell no!" 

A black woman is my manager, not in the kitchen 

So could you please stop bitchin? 

"Stalkin. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J] 

[Cube] Yeah, yeah. 

"But when will they shoot?" 

"Stalkin. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J] 

[Cube] Yeah, yeah. 

"But when will they shoot?" 

. [automatic gunfire] 

[Ice Cube] 

You missed, and didn't hit Da Lench Mob either 

"Guerillas in the Mist." without Jungle Fever 

But I got the fever for the flava of a cracker 

Not a Pringle, bust the single, here's my new jingle 

"Stalkin. walkin in my big black boots" 

The KKK has got three-piece suits 

Using niggaz like turkey shoots 

My motto is +Treat 'Em Like a Prostitute+ 

Now if I say no violence, devil, you won't respect mine 

Fuck the dumb shit - and get my Tec-9 

And if they approach us 

A-ight, a-ight - I bury those cockroaches 

And if you can't deal with my +Kill at Will+ 

Here's a new gift to get - try my +Death Certificate+ 

+Amerikkka's Most+, Amerikkka's burnt - it's like toast 

Like Jordan, I'm goin coast to coast 

Dribblin the funk here comes the nigga 

with the motherfuckin monster dunk, get off me punk! 

"Jordan. watch Jordan, 

aiyyo yo watch Jordan . YES!" 

"You better eat your Wheaties" [M.J.] 

"Stalkin. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J] 

[Cube] Yeah, yeah. 

"But when will they shoot?" 

"Stalkin. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J] 

[Cube] Yeah, yeah. 

"But when will they shoot?" 

[Ice Cube] 

Darryl Gates got the studio surrounded 

Cause he don't like the niggaz that I'm down with 

Motherfucker wanna do us 

Cause I like Nat, Huey, Malcolm, and Louis 

Most got done by a black man's bullet 

Give a trigger to a nigga and watch him pull it 

Negro assass-in 

I'ma dig a ditch, bitch, and throw yo' ass in 

When they shoot, no, it won't be a cracker 

They use somebody much blacker 

What I do? I called up the Geto Boy(s) crew 

Cause +My Mind's Playing Tricks On Me+ too 

Never died, surround my crib 

and F.O.I. makin sure nobody creep when I sleep 

Keep a 9 millimeter in my Jeep - PEEP! 

When I roll, I gots to roll deep 

Ain't goin out cheap 

Met the MADD Circle on Cypress Hill cause it's so steep 

They'll never get me, they'll never hit me 

Motherfuck that shit J-Dee 

Now I'm relaxed 

Grab the St. Ide's brew so I can max 

Sittin by the window cause it's so fuckin hot 

and then I heard a shot - boom.
